        <strong>What is stress?</strong></p>
    <p>
        Stress can be defined as a state that arises when people are subjected to various kinds of strain that they have trouble dealing with. The concept of stress comprises both events that entail strain (stressors), and a person&#39;s reactions to these (stress responses). Long term effects of stress responses are called stress symptoms.</p>
    <p>
        <strong>Stressors - What causes stress responses?</strong></p>
    <p>
        For example, a traffic jam is considered a stressor if it causes a stress response in the person inside of the car. If the traffic jam is appraised as relaxing for the person in the car, the traffic jam can instead be viewed as a relaxing situation. A stressor can be either an external event, such as a traffic jam, or an internal event, such as pain or other physical conditions that cause distress. In the latter case, the distress is a stress response and the pain is a stressor.</p>
    <p>
        <strong>Stress responses </strong>- how we react to stressors, for example with a faster heart rate, increased muscle tension (physiology), worry (emotions), worried thoughts (thinking) and faster speech (behavior).</p>
    <p>
        <strong>Stress symptoms</strong> - long term effects of stress responses such as trouble sleeping, irritation, anger, problems concentrating, tense muscles, depression, headache, fatigue, exhaustion, digestive problems, weakened immune system, etc.</p>
